The Gothic miniscule 'e' stands for Emilia, and almost certainly for Gardone, Val Trompia, Tusco-Emilia.

The small snap matchlock arquebus, made in Val Gardone, Tusco-Emilia, in ca. 1520-30, is in my collection (on top in the group of four) - see an earlier thread on this fine piece.

The wheel-lock arquebus of ca. 1540, employing a slightly earlier etched and gilt Tusco-Emilian matchlock barrel (ca. 1520-30), is preserved in the famous Vienna arsenal.

Made of finely tooled and hardened leather decorated in the same style as contemporary late Gothic/early Renaissance book bindings.

Very rare items, too.

Characteristic types that soon became very common with South German, Swiss and Austrian Landsknechts.
